I have found a reasonable performance gain by separating the system drive 

(C:) from the swap file on drive (d:) which is physically different. I have 3 

physical drives and C: is the system, D: is extensions and the Windows 

swap file, and E: is for the internet temp files and work files. A small drive,

200-300MB, can be had for a cheap price today and can be designated as 

both the Windows swap drive and internet temp files drive. Just think.. the 

heads are not constantly moving from program files to swap/temp files.
